What is Autism?

ASD and autism are terms used to describe a group of disorders relating to brain development. The characteristics vary from individual to individual, but include repetitive behaviors, difficulty in social interaction, and difficulties in verbal and nonverbal communication. ASD now includes all autism disorders, including those previously referred to as pervasive development disorder, childhood disintegrative disorder, and Asperger syndrome.
